I just removed the leaf spring from the diff of my SpitSix project car. On
top, there is a rectangular plate, under that, there is the spring. There
are 6 double-threaded bolts that go through a rectangular top plate and into
the top of the diff on either side of the spring. The hole in the
rectangular plate matches up with the "button" or pin in the center of the
leaf spring. Is this what you have?

Subject: [Spits] Separating spring from Diff
Hi All,
Since I blowed up the diff in our '68 GT6, I went out & purchased a diff
from a '79 Spit. I went ahead & pulled the back off the blowed up
punkin...not good inside there! I wanted to use the case from the GT6 diff
with the 6 studs rather than the 4 stud Spit case. Well, not being an
expert on these cars, I decided against tearing the Spit case apart. The
problem is, I cannot separate the spring from the diff. I see there's some
sort of pin in the center...certainly it's not holding the spring to the
case? How is this done? I'm going to use the GT6 spring.
Cheers,
